PROJECTS
SHORT-TERM
GOALS
 Finish my actual research fellow.
MEDIUM-TERM
GOALS
 Refine the linguistic porting technologies on which I worked
during my PhD.
 Do further research on the types of sublanguages for which it is
possible to develop efficient (useful) statistical MT systems in
the context of applications extracting content from spontaneous
utterances.
LONG-TERM
GOALS
 Join some establishment offering an adequate research and/or
development environment.
